  Just wanted to get input from the experienced guys out there...
  
  What tools do you use to create your buttons, animations, backgrounds and other goodies for your TPs?

  
  I do all my work in Photoshop.

  UI creation tools
  
  Illustrator
  
  Photoshop
  
  Paint Shop Pro
  
  and believe or not,
  
  my most valuable graphics tool: PowerPoint
  
  It's funny how some of the most basic inexpensive
  tools can end up being the most useful & valuable.

  Graphic Tools
  
  Take a look at www.ground-z.org/design.html. There are some interesting graphic tools, especially the 3D Button Creator.

  Mostly Photoshop and Illustrator. And many others, task specific. And here are two you might know about, but, just in case, they could fit in your toolbox:
  
  - GuiFX Copilot, especially its Logo Toos (saves so much time when flawlesly converting white background to transparency especially for TV stations). Unfortunately only free for personal use.
  
  - Maptunes Damage Control - Makes such a difference when optimizing gradients. (I am sure everybody has had the zebra gradients on low colour depth panels). And this one is Unlimited Free Trial (Nag Screen)

  I use The Gimp for all my graphical editing. For simple resizing and conversion (gif -> png, or whatever), I use IrfanView.
